‘South Indian food is the reason why I look ageless’

Anil Kapoor has finally revealed the secret behind his ageless looks.

“It probably has to do with my love for South Indian food and the large amount that I have consumed over the decades. The idlis, sambar, chutneys, dosas and all the pickles that I have had with rice, rasam and curd are the secrets of my agelessness,” says the 62-year-old, adding that South Indian dishes are very healthy food options as well.

“When a person is unwell, their diet usually includes idlis — as it is the safest food option. That’s my secret, now revealed,” he says.

Prod him on what he thinks of the memes made on his youthful looks, and the Mr India actor says, “Memes are fun. I enjoyed them earlier when I was trolled for having a hairy chest in the 80s and 90s and I am enjoying the ones made these days as well. I take them as a compliment.”
